Good afternoon! My name is Lauren, and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict. There are so many times in my life that I try to deal with my problems and think that I know it all and can handle all that life throws at me, but when I just slow down...and pray...and give it to God...things ALWAYS seem to go better. But the problem is...I always seem to forget that it is that easy to do that. Me, and my selfish ways, think that I have to control everything and that I can handle everything. But God CREATED us to need Him. We are SUPPOSED to NOT be able to handle life by ourselves. We are supposed to reach out to Him in our time of need and pray to Him. And obviously He is always there, in our time of rejoycing too and we shouldn't just pray when we need Him, but for this topic today I am talking about going to Him in our time of need. He brings us peace, we just need to pray to Him. That's all I have for today. Have a great one!
